How does this quiz work?
Read each question, choose one answer among A, B, C and D, then check it: a short explanation appears after every answer. Your score out of 10 is shown at the end, and you can restart the quiz as often as you like.
What should you review before the quiz?
Reread the key facts of the lesson and the worked example. If a question is hard, go back to the matching part of the lesson, then try the quiz again. Write your work on scrap paper: most mistakes come from skipping a step, not from the idea itself.
Remember:
A product is the total number in equal groups.
In \(5 \times 7\), 5 is the number of groups and 7 is the size of each group.
An array shows multiplication with equal rows and columns.
Equal measurements, like 4 ropes that are each 3 feet long, can be multiplied too.
A letter such as \(n\) can stand for the unknown number in an equation.
